So a dumb one-minute timeout is the thing that pushed you over the edge? How would you feel if you had to work on drones that kill people or as a nuclear scientist on the Manhattan project?

When I work on drones that kill people I choose to work on it from the start. There’s no doubt that they’ll be used to kill people since it’s an explicit design goal.

The same is not true for a ‘cookie selection dialog’, where the stated goal would be to allow people to easily select what cookies they want to allow.
